unless it's changed, all Heads are factory tuned to a 1:1.

The tipping drill is a good example of clendenin's methods in that all turns really come from the release of edges inot a drift (intended path of the ski and body) (in clendenin speak=love spot, others, Float of ski) and then the engagement of the uphill edge; but it's important that he stresses that the skier shouldn't use one turn or turn shape, the amount of edging can vary from a pure side slip to heavy edge pressure depending on the need. But the turn should not soley come from the weighted downhill foot.

Here is an example of heavy uphill edge pressure, notice the snow coming off the uphill ski and virtually none off the downhill ski.


Most of what we skied involved very little to no edgeing during the beginning of turn and the engagement of the uphill foot on the last 1/3 of the turn into the transition.?
